Quiet Nights, Loud Heart - Niko Jarell
Moonlight drifts across the floor
I hear your laugh, but see no more
The silence hums between the walls
A gentle echo where love falls
Coffee cups and fading notes
A memory in every coat
I trace the lines where we once were
In quiet nights, my heart still stirs
Though the stars are shining bright
I feel your absence in the night
Holding on to what we knew
A tender ache that won't undo
Quiet nights, loud heart
Beating softly where we are apart
Whispers of the love we had
Filling spaces good and bad
Quiet nights, loud heart
Every shadow pulls you apart
Yet I feel you close somehow
Even when the night won't allow
Streetlights flicker on the street
Our pace alone where we would meet
Your voice still lingers in my mind
A tender trace I cannot find
Soft piano plays a gentle song
Where right and wrong both feel so wrong
Every breath a quiet plea
For the love that's still inside of me
Though the stars are shining bright
I feel your absence in the night
Holding on to what we knew
A tender ache that won't undo
Quiet nights, loud heart
Beating softly where we are apart
Whispers of the love we had
Filling spaces good and bad
Quiet nights, loud heart
Every shadow pulls you apart
Yet I feel you close somehow
Even when the night won't allow
I close my eyes, I drift away
Through the soft haze of yesterday
Every memory, every spark
Guides me gently through the dark
Quiet nights, loud heart
Beating softly where we are apart
Whispers of the love we had
Filling spaces good and bad
Quiet nights, loud heart
Every shadow pulls you apart
Yet I feel you close somehow
Even when the night won't allow
The moon still glows
The night is clear
And in my heart I feel you near
Quiet nights, loud heart
Remains, softly pulsing
Through the pain
